Jetskidawg Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 So I finally landed a Stock II in 9mm and I'm happy. Problem is, if it goes down in a match I don't have a backup. So the question for those of you who have run Tanfos for a while is: what spare parts should I have in my bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealio Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Has anyone actually had anything go wrong in a match that spare parts would fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I've used extra fiber optic cuz it came out but I carry a backup to all matches and just go to it. I keep spare things as peace of mind I guess??? Or just to say I got spares maybe??? No rhyme or reason to my madness sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I've seen a number of things go wrong with my friends' more expensive guns. I've always shot a glock and had a spare gun. Didn't need one because, well, it was Glock. I'm new to the Tanfos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Gump, thanks for the link, looks like you've already walked a mile in my shoes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Many of you travel long distances to shoot matches routinely. I do it about twice a year. I'd rather shoot than watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prov1x Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Glocks break and jam just like every gun. Seen it happen many of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvincent Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) The henning trigger bolt head sheared off once. the nut came loose and fell off on a separate occasion. Both occasions was forced to run it as is. Luckily, the pin stayed in place. I have read about quite a number of people breaking trigger return springs in their stock 2s, and limited pros.

RobertLx Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Are Tanfos known for the slide stop to break where it goes through the barrel? I've heard it was common on CZ's after I saw it happen once at a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagi Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 i have friends with over 50k rounds with stock slide stop....if you really need to bring spare parts it will be fiber optic, trigger return spring, sear spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks all for the tips, much appreciated! I now know what to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I would (and do) have: Slide stop (or henning slide pin) Recoil spring Trigger return spring Sear spring Fibre rod for front sight That's about it. If you still have the glocks you could always bring one as a backup. Might be easier to just switch to the glock than try and repair a broken match gun.

praetorian97 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Has anyone actually had anything go wrong in a match that spare parts would fix? When you spend $200 on a hotel, $100 on a match fee, and $100 on gas to shoot a major match, there is a peace of mind to having a back up gun and/or spare parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you spend $200 on a hotel, $100 on a match fee, and $100 on gas to shoot a major match, there is a peace of mind to having a back up gun and/or spare parts I learned first hand importance of a backup gun at the Alabama Sectional. Drove 6+ hours and my gun stopped on the 4th stage and so I wouldn't have finished without my backup Stock III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Still have my Glocks, so I could use them, but I'd rather run a DA/SA. Any Stock II's out there? (Even I'M laughing ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm still running my stock sear spring, trigger return spring, slide stop, and rear sight after 27,000 rounds. Its a 9mm limited though. I just replaced my extractor for peace of mind at 25K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
